The geek is strong with this one. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was a five-year-old watching Star Wars for the first time. For more than forty years, this has been a part of my life story. It was the universe that Star Wars brought to me that would inspire…

Why am I Afraid?
I do not like to admit that I am afraid. What’s more, it’s a super-intangible fear, and I’ve been letting it kick my ass. I am going to get very personal here, because this entire week has made it abundantly clear that I am off course. All week I have been avoiding doing the things…
I Am Me – What Does That Mean?
I am me. And that’s all that matters, really. It has taken me a long time to understand what this means. A lot of my life I have spent unsure of just what this amounts to. Lots of time inside my own head. There are a lot of different factors that go into how I…
Life Updates?
Let’s do some life updates, shall we? A great many things have been going on. If you follow my blog, you will see me post three times a week over at The Ramblings of the Titanium Don. If you don’t follow my blog, you may want to. Every week I explore Postivity, and striving to…
Who Sets the Rules for Your Worlds?
Your world, your rules. I am part of a Facebook group for sci-fi and fantasy authors. I have seen a lot of writers have questions about how certain matters are workable. The powers of Gods and Demigods, means of intergalactic space travel, attributes for specific characters, magical rules, and so on. One of the best…
Why Write? Shared Inspiration.
Why write? I write because there are worlds in my head that I feel the need to share. These worlds and characters have been swirling about for most of life. It began with sci-fi when I was nine. I called it Wildfire. Fifty pages, handwritten and illustrated…a world where a mad scientist invents robots that…
Help Me Name My Sci-Fi Epic!
I have been working on an epic sci-fi novel for almost two-and-a-half years. I have wanted to write something sci-fi for a long time now. While I love epic fantasy, Steampunk, and my conscious reality creation blog, sci-fi is my first love. When I was a small child, maybe four or five years old, I…
Why is Breaking Tropes Good?
Sometimes tropes should be broken. What is a trope? In the literary sense, a trope is an often used, even over-used theme. Perfect example – the heroine in a horror movie who runs away, only to trip while running and be brutally murdered. These are many and varied, but comfortable and familiar. The elder wizard…
Why I Liked The Last Jedi
I will strive to avoid spoilers, but beware…if you have not seen the movie yet, you might not want to read this. Since I was first exposed to Star Wars (and FYI, I will nearly always refer to Episode IV – A New Hope as Star Wars), it has elated and inspired my imagination. That…
What Do I Name This Thing?
Sometimes it takes me a while to find the name. When I first began work on The Source Chronicles, it was my unnamed Fantasy project. I began my glossary so I could track the characters, and I called it The Source. This would, in turn, lead me to find the plot, whereby my mysterious sorcerer…
